    650 lbs coils for 3” with less preload than 600 lbs coils?

    So no to Kings and a 3" lift?
    I've got Dakar HDs in the rear and they're giving like 3.25" lift even with shit loaded up in the bed so 2.5" front ain't gunna cut it.
    What are my options? I'm sitting on 888 coils that are sagging like a mofo after 5 months.

    It can be done, but I’m pretty sure you would want to go with a heavier rated coil so you can have 3” of lift and minimal preload on the coil

    Hmm definitely stuff I've heard before. Might just lift it 3" and let stuff break and replace with quality parts as I go

    Also I think they offer kings with a 700 pound coil so possibly another option

    650 pound coils should do the trick. Let these bros answer your questions, they all have Kings (or had :devil:)

    If I’m not mistaken, that’d be an option only for people with bumpers, skid plates, and other armor... they’d be too stiff + preload = shitty ride

    Might be fabricating a front and rear bumper in the near future, myself. Still deciding on steel thickness/weight. Trying to kinda coordinate that with the coils/front suspension

    Actually, sounds like a DB in front and huge blocks in back are perfect for you needs.
